Dazzlin' Diva LLC was developed because Tamiko was determined to make good of her blessings in life. She was tireless in her quest to offer something outstanding for women. Her belief is that Dazzlin' Diva did not begin with her but was born as a result of the beautiful, educated and inspirational women in her lineage – all Dazzlin' Diva's in their own right. The spirit of Dazzlin' Diva is more than just being a Diva; it is a lifestyle for all women to feed their internal spirit as well as their external. With that notion she developed DazzlinDiva.com an on-line community for women that empowers, educates and entertains the mind, body and soul.

 

To further her mission of giving back Dazzlin' Diva developed the non-profit organization Positively Empowering TeenGirls About Life - P.E.T.A.L. (formerly Blossomin' Diva) for girls and young women between the ages of 10-21 years old to promote self-esteem and life-skills that will transition them to bloom into the Dazzlin' Diva's they are meant to be.
